Centre of Forensic Interviewing: Research

People undertaking research into investigative interviews at Portsmouth have the opportunity to benefit from the knowledge of specialists working in the field of law enforcement, from both the academic and professional sides of the subject, in one of the first industry-standard digital recording suites within one of the UK’s largest criminal justice research centres. 

Topics currently being researched within and associated to the Centre of Forensic Interviewing include:

  • a national examination of serious sexual offence victim interviews;
  • interviewing the older witness;
  • sex offenders: the best ways to interview different typologies;
  • hand-written statements: how accurate are they?;
  • a national evaluation of the CI in the field;
  • transferability of skills

If you are interested in beginning a research project within the Centre, please contact Dr Becky Milne in the first instance, or the admissions team.
